    Sounds good,I love wonderful soups. Just not sure re lamb or mutton. Last Spring, ate at "Daphne's" in Phoenix, Scottsdale and my brother had finely sliced lamb, and it was great! I think Daphne's is Greek food. It is a great place for a meal! What part of the sheep do you use for this soup? 'cut off which bone'?
